Here comes the Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale Bon Jovi show

Okay, so on the official Bon Jovi tour dates, this show is listed as Fort Lauderdale, but when I Googled the venue it appears to be in Sunrise, which is apparently a different city? 

If any Floridians read this, help me out here -- what's correct?

In the meantime, here's what was played...

Selected videos from Sunrise/Fort Lauderdale

"Lower the Flag". Jon dedicated it to those affected by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school shooting in Parkland, Florida -- which is of course mentioned in the bridge of the song:

"Have a Nice Day". Great take-on-the-world song on the album. I've heard a couple of people say it sounded better in person than it does when you're listening back to the video:

Bon Jovi in Sunrise 12/2/17

The next official stop on the This House Is Not For Sale Tour was Sunrise, Florida. But between the last show and this one, Bon Jovi did a Runaway Tours gig in Fort Lauderdale. During the Q&A in Fort Lauderdale, it was revealed that we can expect tour dates in Canada later this year, and other countries in 2018. (Extra time to save money, folks. 😉)

Here's what was played in Sunrise:

After previously being touted as a possible show opener, "New Year's Day" made its tour debut. Also, Jon really really really likes "Working Man". (I actually don't mind it, despite the hate it gets from most fans, but as I've said in the past, I would much prefer to hear "Love's the Only Rule" from that album.)

Here's a video featuring part of "We Don't Run", all of "God Bless This Mess", and part of "Scars on this Guitar", as well as Jon talking about the album:

"You Give Love a Bad Name":

"It's My Life":

 

UPDATE 14/2/17: The tour debut of "New Year's Day" is also on YouTube now:
